Cell outputs are not displayed

Only print statements show up which is a bit limiting.

This seems to be because we are executing the code without using the ipython interpreter (exec(cell['code'], self.ns)) so we may need to look into doing that a bit differently.

What else other than print and errors do you want to be shown?

I think having some option of displaying cell outputs would be useful. A lot of time I don't use print statements and just print things by placing them as the final output of a cell.

x = np.arange(10)
x

And for matplotlib, if you go and look in main.ipynb you can see that the plots aren't being shown when the cell is called. All of the lines are rendering on the same plot at the end.

I'm going to have to look into how IPython represents the outputs of cells. I know with ipywidgets there's an Output() widget which you can use to capture outputs such as plots or other widgets and handle it as a variable so I think a possible solution would be to return the outputs of run_tags or run_all as a list of outputs that we can either choose to display or not.

I'm thinking of throwing the outputs in a tabs widget which is why I'm interested in this.

I see. The built-in %run magic does show this output right? It may be useful to look into what they do:
